Somebody Help These Poor College Students: I-30 Dining

A very concerned sister is worried her younger sissy. She has a quandary. (No, it isn’t contagious.) Be nice:

I have a quandary I thought you might be able to ease.My sister is about to start college at TCU and is meeting her first roommate (well, besides her mom and dad) for the first time. They are looking for a place to meet for dinner that is in between Dallas and Fort Worth. She’s come to me for a recommendation but my usual arsenal of restaurants stay firmly at the bookends of both cities. I thought perhaps you, or a fellow Sidedisher, may have a recommendation for someplace in between. They are starting college, so price may be a constraint, but other than that there are really no restrictions.

Dequandrafy her.

  3. Just have whoever is driving from Ft. Worth go a couple extra minutes and eat at Smoke. Or if you need cheaper or more casual, head to the Bishop Arts.

  4. Olenjacks Grill or Pappasito’s (both in Arlington near I-30 and Collins)…

  5. Tom’s Burgers & Grill in Arlington at I-30 and Cooper. Inexpensive, tasty, and more importantly, easy to locate from the highway.

  8. Ask her roomate to show your sister a Ft. Worth spot…it’s 30 minutes out of her way and she made the terrible decision to live over there in the first place. SMU ’06.
